Round 3 of FY2010 Prevention and Safety Grants

The grants are awarded to fire departments and other eligible organizations to reduce losses from fire and fire-related hazards. Grant projects focus on preventing fire-related injuries to children, seniors, firefighters and other high-risk groups. The grant program also supports innovative fire prevention solutions and research on improving firefighter health and safety.

The Fire Prevention and Safety grants are part of AFG, a competitive program administered by the DHS Office of Grants and Training that awards one-year grants directly to fire departments nationwide in an effort to give every department the basic tools needed to respond to all hazards.
